You want somebody that's got that little bit of madness within them.
There's always got to be a little bit of madness within [A] a drummer
because it's just that moment of where they just take the band to somewhere else
that you never [Dm] knew you were going to go [A] to.
[D] [A]
Never was this truer than with the drumming alchemist
who blended a short attention span, a healthy dose of [E] eccentric charm
and a large pinch of recklessness [D] and took his band to [E] a whole new level.
[G] The Who's [A] Keith Moon.
He was [A] the craziest human being on the planet.
If you could live with him, he was the best drummer of all time.
[E]
[G] [D] Moon was the clown
and [A] in some ways [D] the centre of the anarchy in that.
[A] [G] Keith Moon.
I [Em] watched him closely
and nobody could imitate [E] what the hell he was [G] doing
but it was so [D] unique and just
there's no one like him.

[C#] [F#] [G#]
[C#] [F#] [B] [G#]
To [C#] me, he played [F#] his instrument
[G#] like [C#] the person that he was.
Just kind [G#] of crazy and out of [F] control.
Nobody played like Keith.
Everybody kind [B] of
you know?
[G#] [A#]
That's what's so genius about it.
[E] That there it was sounding like complete random
when in fact it's not.
It's completely on the button all the time.
If creating Havoc was an Olympic [B] sport,
Keith Moon would have been weighed [E] down with gold.
No [Em] one knows what [G] it's like
to be [D] the bad man
to be [G] the sad man
[D] behind [A] blue eyes
He excelled at [E] launching TVs out of hotel windows,
[G] detonating cherry bombs down [D] lavatories
and finding new ways to trash his drum kit.
to
[G] be faded
He [Em] was completely eccentric.
[A] He was everything in excess.
But [C] my dreams
He could [G] be the most sensitive of the most.
The most arrogant, the most [D] gentle, the most aggressive.
[E] [A] [E] It was like walking through a minefield [Bm] with him
blindfolded with a pair of [C] hotmail boots at all times
because you never knew when he was going to go off
in [D] one direction or another.
Let's [A] never forget
He's the archetype, he's the great genius of [N] the kit
And he also invented most of the rock and roll clichés
that people are still grasping towards
when they embark on their pop careers these days.
Moon was also the nervous flyer's worst nightmare.

If you did that today [N] you'd
And now for [C] Moon's pièce de résistance.
[G]
[Cm] [A] You [A#] think about it, you have to get [C] up kind of a speed.
[C#] Well, it's probably [G] mainly true, isn't [Cm] it?
[F] It happens, but it's [Cm] not something I particularly care to do.
First of all, you have to get the Bentley into the [C] garden
to get so that the first wheels don't go over the edge of the [Gm] pool
and then you're stuck.
He drove [C] the roller into the swimming [F] pool.
[C] Are these Lincoln Continentalists?
[D#] [G]
